The Visual Media Service (VMS) provided by the ARIADNEplus Project enables large datasets to be processed and displayed seamlessly and quickly, enabling end users to view and explore in detail:
3D objects ranging from size from a few mm to tens m, e.g. from beads up to statues and friezes.
Large, high resolution images (that can’t usually be easily displayed online), e.g. gigapixel photographs of frescoes, paintings, or any other planar artwork.
Relightable images (RTI and PTM) commonly used on artefacts such as coins.
Sets of images such as a time series or sequence of pages relating to the same item.
The VMS technology provides a full set of interactive tools for the displayed object(s) and can be accessed for free through the ARIADNE Portal. As such, this service provides a valuable tool for the publication, exploration and dissemination of various aspects of Cultural Heritage.
DANS Data Trail Data Management Tools for Archaeologistsariadnenetwork
With the arrival of ARIADNEplus there is a searchable catalogue of datasets that helps archaeological researchers navigate the “maze” of data and archives. Especially for archaeological researchers, support staff and data managers, a set of tools has now been developed that helps in making your data management plan. Hella Holander, Peter Doorn and Paola Ronzino introduced the tools to the participants during the workshop.
The ARIADNEplus online toolset for data management consists of three parts:
a protocol for archaeological data management,
a template for researchers to create a data management plan with archaeological data,
a manual containing all guidelines, recommendations and practical examples of data management.
In just six steps, the protocol takes you through the entire process of making a Data Management Plan (DMP) for archaeological research. By using the templates and the accompanying manual with a clear set of guidelines and advice, it becomes much easier to meet the requirements of organisations that fund research. The DMP is then also in line with standards in the archaeological domain, which ultimately makes the data more findable, accessible, reusable and interoperable (FAIR).
Eaa2021 476 natália botica - from 2_archis to datarepositorium2ariadnenetwork
To promote open science and data reuse, it is necessary to have data available in open repositories that guarantee their accessibility and permanence, while facilitating their reuse.
Data classified as FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) must follow guidelines that ensure the use of an appropriate metadata scheme, persistent identifiers, well-defined vocabularies, procedures to standardize and improve data quality and sustainable file formats. We will present the methodology used for recording the coin findings from an archaeological excavation carried out by the Archaeology Unit of the University of Minho (UAUM) in the intervention of Casa da Bica, starting with the recording of data in the UAUM's 2ArchIS information system and ending with its availability in the scientific repository "DataRepositóriUM". We will also present some works of visualization and research as examples of the reuse of these data sets, which can be wider when they are integrated in structures of greater visibility like ARIADNE.
On one hand, COVID-19 world pandemic showed the people vulnerability and inability of face-to-face communication and ideas sharing. Through this point of view digital data that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR) showed its added value in even higher extent. On other hand, online communication became a daily routine enabling easier access of all interested parties regardless of their location. The latter helped focusing on particular tasks difficult to accomplish otherwise. The situation in Bulgaria concerning improving state-of-the-art of site and monument dataset “Archaeological Map of Bulgaria” is still in a work process based on online communication with interested participants. Scientists from the National Archaeological Institute with Museum at Bulgarian Academy of Sciences are responsible for all that. Legacy data available beyond local repositories using FAIR principles is a main focus in the development and up-to-date improvement. Sharing the most informative fields metadata and available digital data in ARIADNE portal enabled cleaning other issues in the information system.
This contribution will present digital assets and initiatives at the Museum of Cultural History (MCH), University of Oslo (UiO) and aims at sharing data. The COVID-19 restrictions have elevated the importance of digital assets. At the beginning of this period, metadata for the archaeological collections were, to a large
degree, already digitized and accessible online. This is the result of a national collaboration beginning in the 1990s and continue today in UniMus:Kultur. MCH had also published a map-based overview of all excavations in Eastern/Southern Norway, and
begun to release excavation reports through UiO’s science archive. Recently, focus has shifted towards 3D-documentation of exhibits and publication of existing 3D-models on 3DHOP—available through humgis.uiocloud.no MCH now concentrates on digitizing artefacts at the Viking Ship Museum. The 3D-models
from here will be included in the BItFROST project, which will address the active role of 3D-models in research and education. BItFROST will work on FAIRifcation of 3D-models and promote dialogue with researchers. The 3DHOP platform enables the creation of interactive user-interfaces for researchers and a public audience. Collaboration with DarkLab in Lund, Sweden will create common user-interfaces for Swedish and Norwegian
collections. The project will also utilize AR and VR in the presentation of data.
In addition, the infrastructure project ADED (Archaeological Digital Excavation Documentation) provides open-access to excavations in Norway. The five Norwegian university museums and the Directorate of Cultural Heritage take part in the project.
ADED’s map-based webpages will integrate excavation documentation and the museums’ artefact/photograph databases, making it possible to have an overview and
detailed information of excavations and finds. As part of migrating the data to a common repository, mapping it to CIDOC-CRMarcheo facilitates further mapping to ARIADNEplus and/or other datasets.

Eaa2021 476 ways and capacity in archaeological data management in serbiaariadnenetwork
Over the past year and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world has witnessed inequalities across borders and societies. They also include access to archaeological resources, both physical and digital. Both archaeological data creators and users spent a lot of time working from their homes, away from artefact collections and research data. However, this was the perfect moment to understand the importance of making data
freely and openly available, both nationally and internationally.
This is why the authors of this paper chose to make a selection of data bases from various institutions responsible for preservation and protection of cultural heritage, in
order to understand their policies regarding accessibility and usage of the data they keep. This will be done by simple visits to various web-sites or data bases. They intend to check on the volume and content, but also importance of the offered archaeological heritage. In addition, the authors will estimate whether the heritage has adequately been classified and described and also check whether data is available in foreign languages. It needs to be seen whether it is possible to access digital objects (documents and the accompanying metadata), whether access is opened for all users or it requires a certain
hierarchy access, what is the policy of usage, reusage and distribution etc. It remains to be seen whether there are public API or whether it is possible to collect data through API.
In case that there is a public API, one needs to check whether datasets are interoperable or messy, requiring data cleaning.
After having visited a certain number of web-sites, the authors expect to collect enough data to make a satisfactory conclusion about accessibility and usage of Serbian archaeological data web bases.
Eaa2021 476 izeta cattaneo idacordig and suquiaariadnenetwork
The COVID-19 pandemic unleashed during 2020 implied a change in the way of doing archaeology on a global scale. In Argentina, in particular, activities had to move to the
domestic sphere and, most times, the possibility of carrying out fieldwork, material analysis and collection management in the usual workplaces was lost. This practice showed the need for repositories, libraries and online databases that would allow access to archaeological information. Suquía, the institutional repository of IDACOR, has been compiling and disseminating archaeological information since 2016, although it had not
yet developed its capacity to include databases that would allow meta-analysis of the information hosted. So, the needs raised by the lockdown led to implementing an action aimed at incorporating data from 1938 archaeological sites in the Province of Córdoba (Argentina) together with IDACORDIG (an implementation of the Arches software) which links this set to a spatial database, creating a gazetteer of archaeological sites for the region. This integration is the first of its kind in Argentina, and fosters an increase in primary information and grey literature visibility, together with publications preprints and
prints that allow continuity in the study of archaeology on a regional scale. In this presentation we will characterize this process and its technical aspects to aware on the potential of this type of platform for its integration into digital infrastructures of global impact.
Eaa2021 476 preserving historic building documentation pakistanariadnenetwork
Like many countries around the world, Pakistan was forced to go into a COVID-19 national lockdown in March 2020. While this confined most people to their homes, it also had the unintended consequence of catapulting many institutions into embracing going digital. At the National College of Arts (NCA), Pakistan’s oldest art school, this meant embracing online tools and digital resources that had previously been resisted or under utilized in the teaching of art, design, and architecture. The experiences of
lockdown have highlighted inadequacies and inequities within our systems, and as Pakistan returns to normal there is a renewed will to maintain the momentum gained during the pandemic, and an increased realization of the need for developing and sustaining digital infrastructures. The National College of Arts Archives collect and preserve the records, manuscripts, and other artefacts of historical and archaeological
significance at the National College of Arts. From March 2021, the NCA Archives are initiating a project to collect, preserve, and digitize historic building documentation created at the NCA over the past 145 years. This paper will follow this process and
document the NCA Archive’s attempt at creating a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) database of historic building documentation in Pakistan. It will summarize the experiences of the six-month pilot project, including opportunities that have arisen in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in light of the Government of Pakistan’s ongoing Digital Pakistan initiative. The paper will also document and analyze the difficulties and hurdles that might emerge during the course of the project as the NCA Archive’s digital infrastructure is built from the ground up in a post-colonial setting and a post-COVID world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated or made more visible many known inequalities across borders and societies. This includes access to archaeological resources, both physical and digital. As both the creators and users of archaeological data adapted to working from their homes, cut off from artefact collections and research data siloed within organisations and institutions, the importance of making data freely and openly
available internationally became even more pronounced. The ARIADNE infrastructure (ariadne-infrastructure.eu) for archaeological data, and the SEADDA COST Action
(seadda.eu) are working to secure the sustainable future of archaeological data across Europe and beyond, in ways that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR). Experience within the ARIADNE partnership during the pandemic was largely positive, with many partners able to carry on as usual with accessing their digital resources, emphasising what is possible, while also emphasising what is not achievable
across archaeology, due to lack of capacity. ARIADNE and SEADDA invite papers discussing the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned across all aspects of archaeological data management during the pandemic, and how it may change and
inform our best practice going forward. We particularly invite papers from outside of Western Europe on how the COVID-19 pandemic created barriers or opportunities for accessing archaeological resources, so that we may better understand capacity building during a post-COVID era.
The Portable Antiquities of the Netherlands (PAN) portal and the data model behind the description of the findings are discussed in detail, and how this approach leads to publishing data that is FAIR .
The Innovation Strategy and Targeted activities report presents the ARIADNEplus innovation strategy, addressing its different dimensions and how each of these will approached.
The main dimensions of the strategy are:
Research policies: Alignment with the European research policies on FAIR data, Open Science practices, and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative.
Data integration: Increase of the ARIADNE data pool through incorporation of datasets from more archaeological research domains.
Data infrastructure: Implementation and operation of a Cloud-based platform for data aggregation, integration, discovery, access and use across across institutional and national, as well as disciplinary boundaries.
Service portfolio: Provision of enhanced and new services for digital archaeology on the Cloud-based platform.
Stakeholder and user base: Extension of the stakeholder and user base in Europe and beyond, taking account of user needs regarding data, technical services and training.
The report concludes with the methodology that is being used to evaluate the impact of ARIADNEplus on the wider archaeological community.
The objectives for the ARIADNEplus online survey were to collect information on needs of the ARIADNEplus user community regarding data sharing, access and (re)use, new services (as developed by the project), and related training needs. Results of the ARIADNEplus survey were to be compared, where possible, to those of the ARIADNE 2013 survey (ARIADNE 2014) and, particularly, to planned new technical and other services. Furthermore, the analysis of the results had to focus on the match between the perceived user needs and planned ARIADNEplus services, and suggestions to be provided on activities likely to enable an optimal match.
This presentation provides an insightful view in the process of digitising agenda in Czech archaeology. A cornerstone of this is the Archaeological Information System of the Czech Republic (AIS CR), a national solution for research management, data gathering, curation and presentation. A key component AIS CR is the Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR), operational since 2017.
OpenArchaeo is an application to query archaeological data via CIDOC CRM developed by the MASA Consortium (Mémoire des archéologues et des sites archéologiques). This exciting tool allows to query both the MASA triplestore and other sources of archaeological data mapped with the CIDOC CRM and can be used by other interfaces such as the ARIADNE portal.
INRAP is one of the biggest European institutions in charge of unmovable archaeological heritage. Although centralised, INRAP is so big that a lot of diversity in terms of standards and tools existed. Therefore, ARIADNE was very helpful for Kai, Amala and their co-workers to apply some of the ARIADNE’s tools and approaches to INRAP. One of the top achievements of INRAP due to ARIADNE was ‘changing the culture of sharing’.
DANS, the Dutch Data Archiving and Networked Services provides facilities for the deposit and archiving of archaeological data and provide a Trusted Digital Repository. Challenges involved mass ingestion of datasets and making use of thesauri, data mining and Linked Open-Data techniques.
The Swedish national Data Service (SND) were in the original ARIADNE project and learned how to organise and classify their data for both the Portal and their own web service. Able to display map, marker and polygon information now. Use Elasticsearch, AAT and Periodo.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
